Our 2006 Nissan Altima 2. 5l's engine stopped running while being driven on July 6. 2009. After the incident, I researched recall information regarding the 2006 Nissan Altima, and discovered a recall requiring the electronic control module to be reprogrammed. However, when I took it into tim dahle's Nissan in sandy, utah where we purchased the car, they told us the crankshaft sensor needed to be replaced. Therefore, Nissan's recall is not fixing the problem by simply reprogramming the ecm. Instead, the root of the problem is the crankshaft sensor, and the consumer is required to spend $200 to get this repair done. The recall specifies the problem, but does not take financial responsibility for this defective part.

On Saturday, 2/14/09 my car all of a sudden shut down while driving. I took it into the dealer on Monday, 2/16/09, and was advised that there was a recall order to reprogram the ecm reprogrammed. Later that afternoon I was advised that 2 sensors, the crankshaft & cam sensors were defective and needed to be replaced before the dealer could perform the reprogramming of the ecm; the cost would be $394. 00. Today, 2/17/09, while surfing the internet, I came across a website that posts Nissan recall information. I found that Nov 21, 2007 a mass recall was performed for over 653,000 vehicles, for 2002 & 2005-2006 Altima/sentra models, with 2. 5l engines, for defective crankshaft sensor, which causes the engine to shut off. Then on Nov 8, 2007, campaign #07v527000 was inacted; summary: on certain passenger vehicles equipped with a 2. 5l engine, the crankshaft position sensor can overheat causing a brief interruption in the signal output from the sensor" consequence: the vehicle can stop and cause a crash; my concern my vehicle is listed under this recall, but not the crankshaft sensor recall. Do these two not go together? is it not considered a domino effect? how can the ecm be reprogrammed if the sensor is defective? how is it that vehicles are determined to be included in a recall? how can my vehicle be included in the recall for the crankshaft sensor? any help will be greatly appreciated.

I bought a 2006 Nissan Altima in November of 2005. I have now had this vehicle for 2 years. I just came across 2 recalls online by accident. I was never notified of these recalls and they both appear to be very serious. 1- (#06v223000) from June 2006 involving "engine and engine cooling" that lists excessive oil consumption and possibly engine fire and 2- (06v0046000) from Feb. 2006 involving rear suspension and possibly a cracked bracket. I have had to add plenty of oil since buying this car, but cannot believe I was never notified about a serious and potentially dangerous safety hazard as this, not to mention the damage it must have already caused to the engine!! what do I do now and what can be done to this obvious terrible shady dealership and unforgivable manufacturer??.
